The top attractions in Canada

Niagara Falls is a small town in the middle of nowhere next to the famous Niagara Falls. The main area is completely dedicated to tourism and is composed mainly of hotels, casinos and amusement parks. Personally, I wasn't really

Great long weekend, in a very walkable city with super dining. Stayed at the Ritz Carleton where we enjoyed the Cheese Cave with wonderful pairings, Museums, including the Bata Shoe Museum, eclectic street markets, and the stage show

Lake Louise is a glacial lake located a few miles from a town of the same name and the amazing Icefields Parkway in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies. The lake is beautiful not only for its colors, but for the glacier that

There are many ways to see these parks, but we chose to go in a camper for the freedom that you have to stop where you want, eat when you want, and sleep in the wilderness. I was actually pretty surprised by the campsites at Jasper

A couple of hours from Toronto is natural Thousand Islands, made up of of an archipelago of over 1,700 islands whose shares a border between the U.S. and Canada. Taking a cruise you can tour the small islands and it is strange. Many

Parliament Hill, overlooking the city of Ottawa, is composed of three buildings that form a spectacular neo-Gothic complex. The buildings were built between 1874 and 1878, and later extended. The three buildings form the Centre Block,

When it comes to Canada and waterfalls, everyone thinks of Niagara Falls, but there's much more to it than just that, and some of them are even more impressive! We went to one on a rainy day in 2007, and we went up by cable car. We

Banff is the oldest and probably the best known of Canada's National Parks, and it's where you can find the two postcard-perfect images of the Canadian Rockies, Lake Louise and the Lake Moraine. Banff is also the most-visited National

Relatively close to the heart of Montréal, at the foot of the hill "Mont Royal" and by the "avenue du parc", is one of the biggest parks in the city. On weekends, the Parc du Mont-Royal is the kingdom of the rasta, the hair of every

I love the mountains, I adore them ... And especially seeing them dressed all in white. The Columbia Glacier is another must see in Canada. With a "bus" you can go up half of the lower glacier where you leave the vehicle in question

When I lived in this beautiful Canadian city, the Vieux Montréal area was definitely my favorite area. Notre-Dame, which the Spanish called Cathedral of Heaven, with a starry sky infused with incredible peace. That sad candle on the

This was a strange visit, to be sure. It's a place of worship for many Canadians, which we saw upon our arrival. The exterior is stunning and even a bit austere. There are so many stairs that go up and down that a few pilgrims went up

Moraine Lake is one of the most famous lakes in Canada (it even appears on the $20 bills). It's located in Banff National Park in the Valley of the Ten Peaks, only a few miles from Lake Louise. The attention-grabbing blue color is

The Mont Royal Park offers several viewpoints from which visitors can admire the city. In winter, one of the most accessible is the Belvedere, which can be reached by car (beware that parking is not free), or by bus line 11 from the

Very near Saint Denis Avenue is the Jean Talon market. It is an outdoor market that is open every day and sells all kinds of vegetables, fruit, plants and flowers. The produce is spectacularly presented.

The National Parks of the Rockies are one of the biggest attractions in Canada. They are spread between the states of Alberta and British Columbia, although the best known and visited parks are Banff and Jasper, which belong to the

The Montreal Botanical Garden is located in the north of the city. We came by bike (With Bixi service, it takes about 40 minutes from the centre, and we stopped halfway). It's a huge garden where you can easily spend the whole day,

On our visit to Canada we were shown this museum. The outside is spectacular due to its strange architecture that seems like a head. In the inside there are totem poles and an IMAX cinema and museum for children. We couldn´t

If you visit the old town, the "Vieux Montreal", you'll come to the shore of the St. Lawrence, along the street "Rue de la Commune". I advise you to take this opportunity to explore the docks and its various attractions. If you go in

This was one of the most surprising sites on my visit to Canada was this city. We were on our way to see the famous waterfalls and made a stop here. What seemed like a quick break from the bus became a surprise that everyone loved.

We visited the Museum of Civilization in Quebec City on a rainy day during our stay there. Rain or no rain, this museum is definitely worth checking out if you're into learning about history, art, or the heritage of the people in

Yes, it's true that the Montreal Metro exists, but I don't know if you can call them "underground hallways" because what's down there is immense: Huge shopping centers. Three floor fountains. Restaurants. Bars and it's quite possible

The neighborhood of "petit champlain" is situated below old town. You can get there by going down the stairs or by taking the the "funicular," a little train that costs $2. Seeing the street in winter with all the snow and Christmas

Drink Bubble Tea in Chinatown in Montréal. "Bubble tea" is one of the things I miss most when I'm in Europe. Despite its Thai origin, it's a popular beverage in North America that is often bought to go at Asian food establishments.

In the Place Royale you will see a large mural on the side of a house, more than 400 square meters long which represent many historical characters of Quebec, situated in the windows, bridges and elements of a "supposed" Quebec Street.

We spent two nights at the Laughing Falls back country campsite in the heart of Yoho national park. The trail to the campsite starts from the Takakkaw Falls car park. Before starting off, the falls are well worth a visit. The 254m

On the western outskirts of Toronto is the Centennial Park, a nice area to walk around. What I liked was the greenhouse, because there was free admission and extended hours, home areas that were filled with cactus, tropical plants and

The city of Toronto has two buildings which were built with the intention of housing the city council. The old town hall (Old City Hall) is a classic building, the architect is called Edward Lennox (ve also designed the Casa Loma).
